Both these guys were superb fighters. I remember watching Starling fight Lloyd Honeyghan and just thinking "WOW"

Why!?! Honeyghan was NOT great. He elevated himself against Curry ONE TIME LOL. That was more like Destiny. Idc that he won a few afterwards. He just wasn't championship material to me.

@@exspiravit6920 I thought Starling was superb at some points in his career. I agree Honeyghan was overrated.

This version of Johnny Bumphus was so much better than the one Looyd Honeyghan blew out a year later.

Honeyghan got WAY MORE juice than he should've because of the Curry fight. They actually put him in the P4P top ten for about 3 months after that fight LOL

I loved Bump’s style, great upper body movement and text-book punching.

The worst thing about this fight, is that the pre-fight interview clearly foreshadowed this ridiculous technical decision.

Bumphis got whooped and would have been KO'ed in the next few rounds. Bullshit decision. Duva pulling the cut open to get the fight stopped so Bumphis doesnt get KO'ed

Marlon starling for robbed in this fight. Bumphus was ahead but starling would of stopped him because he was slowly beating bumphus down.
